College Preparatory Curriculum The college preparatory curriculum is designed to improve students’ performance in reading, writing and mathematics. Students earning scores below the statemandated minimum scores on the college placement test must enroll in college preparatory communication and computation instruction. Depending on the areas needing remediation, students will be placed into college preparatory writing, reading, and/or computation courses. Students whose diagnostic tests indicate they need instruction in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will be enrolled in the alternate EAP series of courses. See the EAP section for more information. The bulleted items below refer to specific requirements related to the preparatory curriculum: x Students who earn below the state-mandated scores on one or more sections of the college placement test must complete a) SLS 1501, OR b) SLS 1101 and REA 1605. x Students who test into college preparatory reading must take REA 0007 before enrolling in any math course.

sequence: EAP 0400 Speech/Listening IV, EAP 0420 Reading IV, EAP 0440 Writing IV and EAP 0460 Grammar IV. Students who have not completed all of their college preparatory courses by the time they have earned 12 hours of college-level credit must register simultaneously for their required preparatory courses and any college-level credit courses for which they are eligible to take. These students may enroll in no more than two college preparatory courses per semester and in no more than 13 credit hours per term. Students attempting a college preparatory course for the third time will be charged out of state tuition (withdrawal from a course counts as an attempt). Students who have serious extenuating circumstances may petition the appropriate campus dean of student services for an exemption from paying the full cost of instruction. Students who fail to complete a preparatory course satisfactorily within three attempts will not be allowed to register again for that course. However, the College encourages such students to enroll in continuing education courses or private vendor programs that are designed to improve students’ college-entry skills. Students who can document that they have completed such courses/programs may retake the placement test (F.S. 1008.30).
